Charis Partners Program- Menu of Services

For ten years, Charis has been providing high quality retreat experiences to young adults.  The Charis Retreat Partner Program provides all the services needed to support dioceses, parishes, retreat houses, universities and other organizations in developing one retreat or a full retreat program for those in their 20s and 30s.   The Menu of Services gives organizations the flexibility to choose different support services, according to the skills and time availability of their own staff.
 
All partners receive a 30 minute complimentary phone consultation to assess the partner’s needs and determine how Charis can best provide support. Note: Fees are subject to change without notification.

If you are interested in becoming a partner site, contact Executive Director, Pam Coster or National Partners Coordinator, Becky Eldredge. Pam Coster:  pcoster@charisministries.org Becky Eldredge:  nationalpartners@charisministries.org
